TidBITS: Comments on Making the Case for an iWatchhttp://tidbits.com/
Looking beyond the rumors, a variety of facts support the claim that Apple is making a watch. Josh Centers presents the evidence and speculates on what we might expect an iWatch do.en-usCopyright 2013 TidBITS Publishing Inc.Mon, 15 Jul 2013 00:00:00 EDTMon, 15 Jul 2013 00:00:00 EDTeditors@tidbits.com (TidBITS Editors)editors@tidbits.com (TidBITS Editors)TidBITShttp://tidbits.com/images/tb_logo_152x55.pnghttp://tidbits.com/

It's form over function. For the people who buy watches in jewelry stores vs sporting goods stores. Nothing wrong with that; as computers and smartphones and tablets become cheap commodities they need to distinguish their hardware somehow.]]>http://db.tidbits.com/article/13892?rss#comments_19316

Here in Japan, the word "AirPort" can't be used (I'm not sure the reason - perhaps it's confusing with normal airports, or perhaps there's some trademark conflict?) and so those Apple hardware are all called "AirMac" instead of "AirPort".

Getting others to believe Apple is working on an iWatch as a diversion is another story.]]>http://db.tidbits.com/article/13892?rss#comments_19292
